CRC Group Expands Operations in Los Angeles

Wholesale specialty insurance distributor CRC Group is pleased to announce the addition of Matthew Azzara as a professional lines broker for Los Angeles. Azzara brings nearly twenty years of experience in management liability to his new role, having previously led a management liability commercial division for North America. His appointment comes on the heels of Vince Colosimo joining the team as an executive vice president in the New York City downtown office.

David Alferez, a director at CRC Group, expressed confidence in Azzara's abilities, stating, "With Matthew's expertise and track record of success in management liability, we are excited to see the value he will bring to our team and clients." Azzara, who has worked at top insurance companies such as AIG, Zurich, Nationwide, and Allianz, shared his excitement about joining CRC Group and the LA ExecPro team. He is looking forward to collaborating with his new colleagues to drive growth for CRC on the East Coast and support their retail partners in the fast-changing financial lines and cyber marketplace.

While Azzara will be based in Los Angeles, he will be working remotely from New York, showcasing CRC Group's flexible approach to talent across different regions. With a team of 5,100 professionals in the US and Canada, CRC Group manages over $40 billion in annual premiums in various insurance sectors including property and casualty, employee benefits, life, annuities, and long-term care.
